Abstract:

A method and apparatus for performing a simulation are provided. An electronic map is displayed on a computer screen. Interactive features of a graphical user interface are superimposed over the electronic map, wherein the graphical user interface is controlled by a first entity, and the electronic map is controlled by a second entity. Input associated with a mission is received. An icon of a transportation entity for the mission is displayed on the electronic map based on the input. The icon of the transportation entity is automatically moved in simulation as a function of time, by a processor, based on the input and properties of the icon of the transportation entity.
